Even as the Army has claimed to have recovered cache of arms and ammunition from Peeran Wali Gali in Ghambir Mughlan sector on Friday, intelligence sources have refuted the claims that the Army recovered arms, just 10 feet away from its post.

Army sources claimed that on specific information, troops of a RR unit posted at Manjakote had busted a militant hideout in the Peeran Wali Gali in Ghambir Mughlan on the intervening night of May 8 and May 9, and recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition. They claimed that the cache comprised 1 kg RDX, four hand grenades, 31 AK rounds, a radio set and a detonator.

Reliable intelligence sources said the area from where the Army unit had claimed the recovery of cache was just 10 feet away from the Peeran Wali Gali post. “It is not a genuine recovery. There are various contradictions about it”, an intelligence officer told The Tribune. “The Army unit in its communication to various intelligence agencies stated the recovery was done during the night, which is not true since recovery in the area is not possible during the night hours.” Meanwhile, Army sources reiterated that the recovery was genuine and there was truth in it.
